Hope they didn't take a classic and freemiumize it. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #10 nightc1, Dec 17, 2013 Ah the freemiumized contra... darn you nostalgia, guess I'll have to give it a try now. ramon31 Well-Known Member Sep 4, 2011 843 0 16 Hortacultrist Australia #11 ramon31, Dec 17, 2013 Works a treat on my iPad mini original with ios7.

Not working on iPad Air either. Edit: unless I turn off the wifi. Then it works just fine. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #16 awp69, Dec 17, 2013 Working for me on my 4S. I won't be able to see how bad Rey bastardized it with awesome freemiumness until later. I HOPE it's just for wimps who can't make it through the game. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,587 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #17 Greyskull, Dec 17, 2013 How can you freemiumize Contra? Most of us would have spent 100 bucks for continues, had they been available. Thankfully, IAPs back then were called "The Konami Code". I don't wistfully look back at the difficulty of those games. I rarely beat any! They were hard because they were short as hell, and carried an arcade philosophy. Junbugo Member Dec 1, 2012 18 0 0 #18 Junbugo, Dec 17, 2013 the konami code wasn't the original iap. The konami code was free, if you knew it. No The original iap was call sinking your allowance into a machine for 3 hours trying to beat one level. But so far playing it seems that the game seems a little easier than the arcade,if that is possible. drfaygo Well-Known Member Sep 7, 2010 127 0 0 #19 drfaygo, Dec 18, 2013 arcade mode. for some reason the other mode is broken.
